Identify and Install and configure watcher nodes. Watcher nodes are computers that periodically run 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 synthetic transactions—Windows PowerShell cmdlets that verify that key 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 components, such as the ability to log on to the system or the ability to exchange instant messages, are working as expected.

The Management Packs can be used with System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 (64-bit) (Supported for Migration purposes only) or System Center Operations Manager 2012 SP1 & R2 (64-bit). The following table shows the supported configurations for the Management Packs for 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015:

The following features are new to 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 Management Packs.

Automatic discovery for Client Sign-In Client applications that sign-in to 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 often automatically discover the server to sign-in to. Synthetic transactions now support verification that automatic discovery is configured correctly.

Customized synthetic transaction run intervals To simplify the set up process of Watcher Nodes, synthetic transactions can share user accounts. This slows down the frequency at which the tests are run as the tests are serialized to avoid conflicts. By default, synthetic transactions run every 15 minutes to ensure all tests have time to run. Administrators who choose to use more users or fewer tests per user may now reduce the run interval, as well.

Video Interop Services synthetic transaction Customers who are migrating to 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 from other vendor solutions often desire to continue using the video teleconferencing devices (VTCs) from these other vendors. Video Interop Server is a new 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 server role that enables customers to continue to use Cisco VTCs in their conference rooms by connecting to Cisco CUCM via a video SIP trunk. This feature also adds a synthetic transaction to help verify that the Video Interop Server is up and can handle incoming connections over a video SIP trunk.

The 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 Management Pack leverages a variety of features to help you detect and diagnose issues. These features provide real-time visibility into the health of a 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 environment.

Monitoring scenario

Description

Synthetic transactions

Windows PowerShell cmdlets to test and help ensure high availability of scenarios such as sign in, presence, IM, and conferencing for users.

The synthetic transactions can be run from any geographic location including inside the enterprise, outside of the enterprise and in branch offices.

When a synthetic transaction fails, HTML log s are created to help determine the exact nature of the failure. This includes understanding which action failed, the latency of each action, the command line used to run the test, and the specific error that occurred.

Call reliability alerts

Call Detail Records (CDRs) written by 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 Servers reflect whether users are able to connect to a call or why a call is terminated. Call reliability alerts query the CDR database to produce alerts that indicate when a high number of users experience connectivity issues for peer-to-peer calls or basic conferencing functionality.

Database queries that look at Quality of Experience (QoE) reports published by 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 clients at the end of each call. These queries produce alerts that pinpoint scenarios where users are most likely to experience compromised media quality during calls and conferences. The data is built on key metrics, such as packet latency and loss, which directly contribute to the quality of user experience.

Component health alerts

Individual server components raise alerts via event logs and performance counters to indicate failure conditions that may significantly affect user scenarios. These alerts indicate a variety of conditions, such as services not running, high failure rates, high message latency, or connectivity issues.

Dependency health monitoring

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 can fail for a variety of external reasons. The Management Pack monitors and collects data for critical external dependencies that can indicate severe issues. These dependencies include Internet Information Services (IIS) availability, and CPU of servers used for 비즈니스용 Skype 서버.

High Priority alerts: These alerts indicate conditions that cause service outages for large groups of users and require immediate action. Outages detected by synthetic transactions and offline services (such as 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Audio/Video Conferencing) qualify as High Priority alerts. In contrast, a component failure on a single machine is not a High Priority alert. 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 has built-in high-availability features for these situations—for example, multiple Front End Servers behind load balancers.

Medium Priority alerts: These alerts indicate conditions that affect a subset of users or indicate issues in call quality—for example, component failures, latency in call establishment, or lower audio quality in calls. Alerts in this category are stateful (that is, the nature of the alert changes based on the state of the network connection.) For example, if call establishment times indicate latency but then return to a normal threshold, this Medium Priority alert would be auto-resolved in System Center Operations Manager and administrators would not need to take action. Alerts that cannot be auto-resolved are typically addressed by administrators on the same business day.

Other alerts: These alerts are generated from components that might affect a specific user or subset of users. For example, a typical alert would be that the Address Book service could not parse the Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS) entry for user: testuser@contoso.com. Administrators can address these alerts whenever they have time available.

The following Table shows the health states of objects the 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 monitoring pack.

Management Pack Object

Description

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Deployment

Represents the deployment of 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 2015 in the organization.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Site

Represents different geographical locations where services are deployed.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Pool

A Pool (within a Site) that provides communications services, such as instant messaging and conferencing, to users. Applicable to Front End pools, Edge pools, and Director pools, even if there is only a single machine in a given pool.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Role

A server role that hosts 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Service.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Service

Represents a functionality deployed on a specific machine (for example, user service on fp01.contoso.com).

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Component

A component of the Service (for example, the Address Book Download component is a part of the Web Service).

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Pool Watcher

An instance of synthetic transactions that are running against one pool.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Registrar Watcher

An instance of synthetic transactions that run against one Registrar pool.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 User Services Pool Watcher

An instance of synthetic transactions that run against one User Services pool.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Voice Pool Watcher

An instance of synthetic transactions that run against one Voice pool.

비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Port Watcher

An instance of Port checks running against one pool.

Simple URL Watcher

Performs HTTPS probing of the configured simple URLs in a deployment.

A 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 pool can contain multiple individual 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 systems (with more than one 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 role, 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 service, and 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 component). Therefore, the failure of an individual server or component is less critical to the overall health of the 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 pool, because other servers in the same pool can provide the application service to the client. The health will roll up on a percentage level to the 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 pool.

The 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 Pool Watcher performs synthetic transactions against a 비즈니스용 Skype 서버 pool. Consecutive failure of one or more synthetic transactions (a process known as the consecutive polling interval) will roll up the critical health state to the pool level (worst of any synthetic transaction), as shown in the following diagram.

By default, Operations Manager saves all customizations, such as overrides to the Default Management Pack. As a best practice, you should create a separate management pack for each sealed management pack that you want to customize.

When you create a management pack for storing customized settings for a sealed management pack, we recommend naming the new management pack appropriately, such as "Skype for Business Server 2015 Customizations."

Creating a new management pack for storing customizations of each sealed management pack makes it easier to export the customizations from a test environment to a production environment. This also makes it easier to delete a management pack, because you must delete any dependencies before you can delete a management pack. If customizations for all management packs are saved in the Default Management Pack and you need to delete a single management pack, you must first delete the Default Management Pack, which also deletes customizations to other management packs.
